Stoning the Galaxy

Manning the goal for Colorado tonight will likely be someone who has never lost to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Okay, that's stretching it a bit because he's had just two games against LA but Preston Burpo did go 1-0-1 for Chivas USA in the games he played against the Galaxy. In those games, he allowed just one goal. Who scored it? Current Colorado teammate Herculez Gomez.

Preston was dealt to San Jose by Chivas USA and at first appeared to have a shot of starting for the expansion team until Joe Cannon moved north as well. Preston will now get his shot with Colorado as the Rapids needed cover for Bouna Coundoul, who is off with Senegal.
